My conclusion is that that probably isn’t what I really want [...]
Sometimes the world strikes me as an evil, superficial and generally less than optimal place to be. The recent events. The terror attack on NYC. The subsequent militaristic speeches by various heads of state. The increase in crime against people of different ethnicity in my own peaceful homecountry.

I think I might try to save up enougfh money to head out to Accra around mid september. Apparently Mark is getting ready to launch [...]
OK, So I’ve started this company called MostlyHarmless. I’m in it with my friend Jens. He’s a Java programmer and I’m an allround, generalist techie. So my dream was to do something interesting, be my own boss, and decide for myself how rich I need to be I don’t really need to be very rich! [...]
